This is an exceptional value for what you get in terms of performance and quality. The buttons and joysticks feel amazing, the screen is responsive, large, and clear, and lastly the performance for pretty much every game I play was handled very well.

Lenovo legion go review for the few

The legion go is a perfect start to a line up especially with all the bugs getting worked out. Its abilities to be versatile and co.patible with many options. The screen shows a great pictures with all media. The legion go capabilites of self sufficient gaming is fun for beginners and has the capabilites to bring those enders back to the beginner. Now that its starting to get price breaks its a total winner. The fact that the legion go is also operational on windows 11 and powerfull enough to run AAA games at a smooth and functional level to compete makes it future proof as well, meaning you wont need to spend more cash on upgrades any time soon. The only thing not giving this 5 starts is the design of the removeable controls that tend to wanna pull out of your hands during intense gaming, but that gives room to aftermarket accessories.

Fantastic handheld! I love the larger screen and detachable joycons over the other handhelds. The software works well and I play all my games smoothly. For about the same cost as the others, you get more bang for your buck. I have a Legion gaming PC also and once again Lenovo did it right.

This thing is amazing. I use Steam and don't really play a lot of intense games on it, just Bethesda stuff, some Castle Crashers and MTG Arena and now I'm branching out and trying other things. I have an xbox but when others are using it, it's nice to be able to grab this and find a quiet spot to play. I love that it works as a Windows tablet. I can browse online, write, listen to music, and do anything on this I can do on my laptop. Seriously, in love with this device. Worth every penny.

Had my doubts with this handheld, but man did I fall in love . If you love tinkering with programs , settings, resolutions etc, this is your device . Beautiful 2k screen and especially when games can run it at 144. BUT… keep in mind those games will be very limited .. 500 nits and people say it’s not bright? I keep my go at 50 , max I’ve taken it to was 80 and I mean that’s with direct sunlight hitting me . Oh but the battery life you ask? Well your millage will vary from mine . I’m ok with 1:30-3:30 hours on battery . Get you a fast charger bam problem solved .

All I can say that it’s amazing, it does have a few fails but that could just be me. The speakers are not good at all and it can be heavy but overall I love it and my husband does too! Having the big screen makes it so worth it!

Really good overall especially for a handheld. Probably the best out of em all IMO. 4 stars just due to the fact that the right stick is petty loose and moves very smoothly which isnt bad but when ykur turning in game it makes you turn really fast it just takes some getting used to honestly

Evey time i use the thing it takes about 20 mins or more constantly needing updates, restarts, etc. ive tried to play playstion app on it so i ca play doom when im not home , its not compatible, the battery can last a while 15-20 mins on performance mode while playing apex legends but if i were to play a full gane of trios 20mins or more the battery is dead, joysticks are good but the software for them needs updates every time you use it pretty much , and im not happy because im getting fed up woth it since it doesnt have anything besides two Type-C commectors one on the bottom other on the top whic is fine but i want to plug my controller in to play but that doesnt work, i bought a pair or AR glasses for a wider screen display, those need a port so i proped my device on its case to plug my glasses in and used bluetooth for my controller , that was okay but i have to reset and resync my controller each timei use it between playstation and the lenovo even though its a saved device it doesnt work, it works like a regualr pc but is more restrictive than a laptop when it comes to apps and sign in and this and that, it has become better now that windows finally added a passkey, i spent 4 hours tryong to sign in with steam which that was a nightmare and a half, it plays apex okay and respect it for that, but if yiu try and trade it into best buy even in excellent condition theyll only give you $180 for it . I do like it when its working but everything windows based always has a million issues , you have to sign in with your username and password 3-5 times for each accoun your syncing but now that passkey cane alomg it saved that constant headache, the device is good if youre using it every day but you have to manually update the thing each timeyou use it even whn you have auto updates turned on. I wish it was an apple product then i woudlnt evr havethese issues but also im poor so i cant afford alot

Have been playing Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, and Baldur’s Gate 3 for the past 2 weeks, and so far, this machine has not failed me. Playing at Medium-High settings with at least 30-40 fps. Setting it a Low, has been able to give me almost 60fps on all games. Storage for me is the sweetspot, but I like the fact that it gives me the option to easily add a microSD card. The only reasons I am not giving it a 5/5 stars, is the battery life and bugginess. Battery on these games runs too short, anywhere from 1.5-2 hours. I also have to put the handheld on sleep mode or turn it off for it to charge. You are able to play while connected but the stays at the same level. Bugginess of the system is not a deal breaker for me.

Absolutely love everything about this console. The controllers disconnecting am becoming the fps mode, the chips, the storage, the shortcuts, and so much more just make this console my new main (sorry ps5 and switch). Battery life is the only issue for me. I know I can tweak the setting and all and extend it but I enjoy playing on somewhat better graphics, so i just basically stay plugged in all day. Plays so many games great, the fps mode actually gives you more options than most handhelds imo bc you can set up all the extra buttons and have basically mouse and keyboard, if you can get used to the ergonomics of it. Highly recommend buying one or financing one if you are interested in something to game on. Have wanted a good gaming pc for years, and this is actually way better than any laptop or anything I have managed to try over those years.

Bestbuy did a great job with delivery as it arrived on time and in perfect condtion. In regards to the device itself, its aces! As a former Steam Deck owner (which I loved), this thing just knocks it out of the water in terms of performance and visuals (although the OLED may give it a run for its money in visuals).
As a intermediate PC user, it was very easy to navigate and set up all my different games. I found it easier to set up than the Steam Deck but this device does lack the awesome user interface that the Deck has.
Running games at full resolution on this thing is truly stunning. Ill have people walk by me during my break at work asking about what this thing is and how great it looks. Truly beautiful screen.
Its a pricey device but for what it does, its a great value. I can play all my Steam games, remote play my PS5, watch videos, use it as a tablet and so much more.
I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is on the fence. Just get it.

The Lenovo Legion Go is hands down the best handheld gaming device I’ve used. It runs Windows, so I can play my entire Steam library, use Xbox Game Pass, and even do light productivity work. The display is insanely sharp and big compared to other handhelds, and the detachable controllers are super versatile. It’s basically a mini gaming laptop in your hands. Perfect for travel, deployment, or chilling at home. Highly recommend for serious gamers!

I love this device, and I 100% recommend it to experienced Windows users. I would recommend anyone coming from a console get a Steam deck. The Legion Go does need a little tweaking depending on the games, but it’s really nothing I haven't experienced from my full-blown gaming PC. Being able to detach the controller is a really big addition for me, along with the mouse functionality on the left controller. The price is very intimidating, but if you find it on sale, get it immediately!

The Legion Go has absolutely been nice to have while I am traveling. While it's not the same experience as having a big gaming laptop, it's convenience is really, really good. It has a big, beautiful screen, despite being an LCD unlike Switch or Steam Deck OLED. The fact it's high res when I want it, and yet still high refresh is very nice. The fit and feel is nice too, though the controllers feel a little unstable sometimes.
The only reason for the star off is that mine required a little setup that I think could be resolved through the Legion Space app, specifically BIOS settings for charging ability and RAM provisioning. A minor thing too, is that I had to download Steam and adjust Steam Input to get mouse control via joystick and buttons. Those I think could be incorporated into the app, but we'll see if that comes along at some point.
Overall, very nice, happy to have a handheld that I can run around with and still play some games in my downtime.

It was a great purchase when I bought it on sale, this device helped me through so much boring times during traveling. It’s powerful enough to play many games even from triple a but those mini smaller games just feel great on handhelds, people might think it’s overkill but the screen size, the frames are just great. Some complain about the legions app that’s pre install but it’s actually not that bad, plus u might never need to use it

I purchased this right before the 12/25/2023 Lenovo update. The update fixed the one major problem concerning the dead zones and also added IS scaling via AMD software (remember to turn off any antialiasing within the game). The battery life isn’t bad at all. I played Styx Shards of Darkness on high settings and it runs with an average 53 FPS, lows 47 fps, highs 59 fps. The game looks great. This is with system on game saver mode and efficiency mode at 800p up scaled to 1600p due to the AMD IS, screen brightness set to 4 ( I play in bed with no lights on) Titan Fall 2 runs at around 57 FPS average. On battery both games run between 27-35 average on the exact same settings. Played 2 hours on battery and had 44% battery level left. Overall I’m happy with the device to play games and with the added bonus that it runs Windows 11 OS. I’ve purchased a foldable wireless keyboard and wireless controller to add more versatility. You get a gaming system that’s mobile, can connect to a tv, and can be used as a secondary mini PC computer.

AAA handheld gaming beast! Bigger is better! Lenovo shows how it's done! Bigger screen at 8.8in 144hz, ultra bright and crisp colors! Bigger battery 49wh means more game time! (Game & settings effect this) Absolute performance power house! 60fps!(average) Playing Grid Legends. Not even in performance mode!!!!(See picture). I couldn't belive it. Innovative removable controllers where the right one becomes a mouse! In the race to the top, Lenovo claims the podium for best handheld of 2023! (IMO)

Amazing price! when i was questioning whether to buy it best buy pulled through and showed me the best price i could ask for! compared to others, it was at least 200 off. Overall, aside from the price the item itself is something i use daily. It holds an amazing performance which hosts the games i play easily and smoothly. Anyways, thank you lenovo and best buy both!
